Overview

The United States of America is a nation forged in the fires of revolution and rebellion against the British monarch; seen as distant, foreign and tyrannical.

After the French and Indian Wars, the British government took an entirely unreasonable line: The American colonists should pay taxes to contribute to the navy and army that helped defend them. The colonists saw it differently, with no representation in the British Parliament to argue their cases, nor any sense of rights from the British.

The Americans faced down Britain. The struggle split counties, cities, towns, even families. In its wake, the revolution left a new kind of nation, a republic where men choose their own destinies. This spirit of independence is a source of strength. It is also a source of weakness, for Americans cherish the right to do as they alone think best. This may lead to yet another great divide in years to come...

America now has a future of boundless possibilities. A continent stretches away to the West, and no one is entirely sure what is to be found there. There may still be scores to settle with the British in Canada, or ambitious nations from Europe to discourage. There is much to do, if this newest of nations is to survive and prosper

Starting Positions

The United States start with Georgia, Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Confederation of New England, and Maine.

Units

They have practically the same units as the British, respectfully, but have a special militia called the Minutemen that are bad at melee range but are good at firing range as well as skirmishers called Long Riflemen. They also lack European Calvary such as Hussars and Uhlans.
